On Friday, the LA County Coroner ruled Elisa Lam's death an accidental drowning.
She had bi-polar disorder and was acting skittish and paranoid in the Hotel Cecil's elevator surveillance video before she disappeared.
Still, a lot of amateur sleuths and conspiracy theorists continue to believe there's more to the story. I think that's in part because of serial killers' Ramirez and Unterweger's connection to the hotel, the fact that nobody reportedly knows how Lam avoided setting off the roof's emergency alarm, and because Skid Row is, well, Skid Row.
Police are still not releasing any details of their investigation. Seems to me they believe that she was having a paranoid episode and wanted to hide somewhere enclosed.
IDK what went down, of course. But, regarding the roof alarm not going off, if you've ever been in LA's Skid Row, not hard to believe that the emergency alarm might not have been set that day or any other (though the hotel owners might deny it to avoid liability). Not the most safety-oriented compliant place on the planet. JMO.
It's reported that nobody in the hotel ended up getting sick from contact/consumption of water that had been hosting a dead body.
Really weird story.
